[narrator] Seven years ago…
I…
-[screams] -[thunder rumbling]
[♪ cheerful music playing in background]
Sushi tonight to celebrate! Family gathering coming soon!
Okay. I'll go straight home!
[employee] Chief. Chief Tosu!
Whoa, you scared me.
I'm going to Kawano Body tomorrow,
so could you come with me?
What's wrong, Minamida? Some kind of problem?
I just don't do well with the president there.
Last time, he was like,
"You just don't get it. Bring Chief Tosu here."
That's the problem.
I got it. Let's go together.
Thank you!
Dinner with the family tonight? That's great.
Oh, you saw!
[chuckles] We're celebrating our daughter
getting into her dream department.
Huh?
I thought your child was only five years old.
That's my son, Akira. He has a much older sister.
[Minamida] Wow. They're both so cute!
[officer 1] Wait right there!
[criminal panting]
[♪ upbeat music playing]
[criminal grunting]
[criminal groaning]
[criminal] Ow! You're going to break it!
[superior] That's enough! Stop, Tosu!
[criminal] Ouch!
Stop already, Tosu!
Get off already!
[officer 2] Get up!
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Tosu, newly assigned to the First Investigation Division.
First Division!
Odd, isn't it?
Someone so young getting into the First Division.
That's how good I am.
-[chuckles] -Oh, yes, outstanding.
But I want a word with you later.
[school bell chiming]
Obviously I do, dummy.
Let's go.
[superior] The criminal could have had a weapon.
I told you not to move until you got the signal.
Is this how you act when a superior is talking?
I had assessed the situation.
He was holding a phone in his dominant hand,
and a small bag in his left.
I judged that the criminal
wouldn't have been able to counterattack quickly.
Even so, Tosu…
There were kids heading home from a nearby elementary school.
I can't allow children to get hurt.
[superior] Watch it!
Hey! Tosu!
Ow.
[laughter]
[Reika's dad] Okay then, Reika. Congratulations!
-[family members] Cheers! -[glasses clink]
[refreshed exhale]
[both] Delicious!
[chuckles] They're so alike!
-[chuckles] -[Akira giggles]
Being back at home really is relaxing.
[Reika's parents chuckle]
Oh, yeah! I can make it this year.
The family trip?
I think I can get the time off.
-Wow! -Really? Yes!
[chuckles]
[Reika's mom] Tetsuo, it's like you live solely
for these yearly family trips.
-Yup! -Yup!
[Reika's parents chuckle]
Yet since you became a police officer, you don't come with us at all, Reika.
[Reika] I said I'm sorry.
But your big sister is coming too this year, okay?
Yay!
-Careful there. -[Tetsuo chuckles]
It's my first year as a detective, so I shouldn't really be taking time off,
but my boss told me to take time off when I can.
That's a good boss. You might be in with a chance.
Please stop. You're always trying to hook me up with people.
We may be family, but it's still harassment.
I don't want to hear it either.
I'm just worried.
You keep on getting buffer and buffer.
[Reika] That's harassment too.
Here, Mom.
More please.
[chuckles] All right.
Here you go.
So today,
I arrested someone for the first time since becoming a detective.
That's great. But don't push yourself too hard.
I'm fine. I work out every day.
-I'm stronger than you now. -[chuckles]
No matter what reasons criminals may have,
I can never forgive them.
[soft chuckle]
We can count on you. [chuckles]
[Tetsuo] I carry a sin…
that I can never tell…
my daughter about.
[keyboard keys clacking]
Are you working, Tetsuo?
Oh? Are you writing another mystery novel?
[Tetsuo] Yeah.
It is my only hobby.
-You have fans too, although not many. -[soft chuckle]
You go on to bed.
I won't be much longer.
All right. Goodnight.
Goodnight.
[Tetsuo] "In the whitening sky,
the cry of a plover echoed.
The man, having finished burying the body,
shouted towards the heavens.
As if cursing. As if praying.
Perhaps the day will come when all of this will be forgiven."
[Tetsuo] Seven years ago.
That was when I killed…
my daughter's boyfriend.
[♪ gentle piano music playing]
[Tetsuo] My only daughter, Reika, was my treasure.
[Reika's mom] Surprise.
She practiced so hard for this.
[Tetsuo] However…
What happened to your face?
Someone's done that to you.
[Tetsuo] Reika's boyfriend,
-Nobuto Matori, was a dangerous criminal. -I'll kill you.
[Tetsuo yelps]
-[thugs laughing] -[shutter clicks]
[thug] What a mess.
-[Nobuto] I gave her a good beating! -[thugs laugh]
The boss is asking for a lot this month, right?
Plus, Reika has really been pissing me off recently.
Let's just do it already.
-[angry grunt] -[clattering]
How dare you, Reika!
I'll kill her!
[Tetsuo] In order to protect my daughter…
-[Tetsuo grunts] -[Nobuto groans]
…I killed…
-[screams] -[thwacks]
…Nobuto.
[♪ tense music playing]
[Reika's mom screams, whimpering]
You did this for Reika, right?
We have to find a way out of this together.
[Tetsuo] Then I disposed of Nobuto's body.
I made it disappear.
However,
I was suspected by Nobuto's criminal associate, Kyoichi Majima.
-[gasps] -[clanking]
[Tetsuo breathing heavily]
You killed Nobuto, didn't you?
Of course not!
-[Tetsuo] Then, our family… -[whimpering]
…became a target of the Mano Syndicate, which controls these criminals.
Come on, this way.
[Reika's mom] Off you go.
[Tetsuo] Kyoichi was smart. A professional criminal.
Why don't we work together?
What?
[Tetsuo] Even so, armed with my years of accumulated knowledge of mysteries,
I worked together with Kasen
to frame Kyoichi for the murder of Nobuto.
Did you plant it?
[groans]
Stop spouting nonsense.
Stop shouting, you idiot.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[Tetsuo] Everything should have ended there…
if I hadn't met Nobuto's father,
Yoshitatsu Matori, at that time…
This is where he died.
[body thuds]
[screams] Nobuto!
-[grunts] -[Tetsuo groans]
[Tetsuo] Matori was a top boss at the Mano Syndicate.
[♪ tense music playing]
It's over.
He took his own life,
and tried to frame me as the murderer.
That was his way of destroying our family.
I have to protect my family.
-[rain pattering] -I buried…
Yoshitatsu Matori's body in the mountains.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
-[screams] -[thunder rumbling]
Perhaps…
the day will come when all of this…
will be forgiven.
It's been seven years since then.
There's not been a day I forgot about the incident.
I've escaped through turning my feelings of guilt and regret into stories.
[mouse clicking]
Perhaps the day will come when all of this will be forgiven.
A serial novel: A Sinner's Confession
Your novel has been posted.
No matter what reasons criminals may have,
I can never forgive them.
[Tetsuo] Reika,
who has no idea of my sin…
has become a police officer.

My Home Hero the Movie
[bird cawing]
[birds chirping]
[reporter on TV] Last night, due to Typhoon No. 3,
which directly hit the Kanto region,
a severe landslide occurred at Ongo Mountain in Okutama.
The surrounding roads are impassable.
Many police officers…
You're up early.
…press are rushing to the site.
The road up ahead…
[Tetsuo] That mountain… is the mountain where I buried Matori's body.
If Matori's body is found…
[helicopter blades whirring in distance]
[birds chirping]
[officer] Are you a journalist?
Emergency vehicles will be passing through here. Please move.
-I'm not. -[sirens wailing in distance]
Tetsuo?
Mr. Yasumoto?
How many years has it been?
Since my parents' funeral.
Mr. Yasumoto, are you still with the police?
That's right. I'm working today too.
What are you doing here?
[soft chuckle] Bird-watching.
Then, I heard there was a landslide nearby,
so I've come to take a look.
Can it be seen from flat ground?
Flat ground?
Those shoes aren't for climbing mountains.
[Tetsuo] Ah.
It's not a serious hobby.
Just something I do occasionally to relieve stress…
Are you keeping busy?
What do you do for work, Tetsuo?
I work in sales at a toy company.
Can I get your business card?
Of course.
Koji Yasumoto
[Tetsuo] "Anti-Gang Division"?
[Yasumoto] Uh-huh.
I'll tell you since it's going to be reported anyway,
but the skeletal remains of a person unrelated to the landslide was found.
It might be related…
to those guys.
No way. Good work.
My rubbernecking must be disturbing your work.
I'll be heading home now.
[Yasumoto] All right.
I'll be in touch.
[sighs]
[engine starts]
[knocking on car window]
In this season, in this area, what birds would you have your eye on?
Right now, the plovers, I suppose.
Plovers?
Well, enjoy your bird-watching.
[♪ uneasy music playing]
[whistle blowing]
Where were you?
Hey, Yakushiji.
Y-Yes, sir?
Plovers.
Excuse me? Pl… Sorry?
Find out if you can see them in this area or not.
Plovers?
Do you like birds, sir?
Is this to do with the case?
His company card and license plate number.
Tetsuo Tosu…
He's the son of a boss who helped me in the past.
He was observing the place
where the body was buried through binoculars.
[Tetsuo] Kasen.
The investigation might lead to me.
You still don't know that.
I'm sure it will be fine.
The power of belief will bring about peace!
Yes. That's right.
[Yakushiji] The skeletal remains found at Ongo Mountain
belong to Yoshitatsu Matori.
Forensics show that several years have passed since his death.
-Go ahead, Enoki. -[Enoki] Okay.
Matori, who worked for Mano Syndicate, engaged in special fraud schemes
and reportedly earned two billion yen annually.
With that enormous funding, the Mano Syndicate rapidly expanded.
The person who scouted Matori was the current chairman, Kanji Shino.
-[Shino exclaims] -[thwacks]
[Yasumoto] Not one person from the Mano Syndicate
has been arrested in the past ten years.
-[attackee whimpering, groaning] -[thwacking]
[♪ uneasy music playing]
Do you think Yoshitatsu Matori
was killed by someone from the Mano Syndicate?
[Yasumoto] No.
They never leave a trace.
Someone else did this.
Someone else?
[Yasumoto] In any case,
losing Matori, their top earner, must have been a significant blow.
With the skeletal remains being found, they will surely make a move.
We'll grab them by the tail
and completely crush the Mano Syndicate!
-[breathing heavily] -Seven years ago,
you reported that Matori disappeared with one billion yen.
But Matori was found dead.
So, who has that money now?
[sniffles, breathing heavily]
I-I don't know.
[laughs]
[Shino] Red card.
I'm sorry!
I'll do anything! I'll do anything! I'll do anything, okay?
I'm sorry!
[attackee whimpering]
[attackee grunting]
[body thuds]
Take him away.
We'll throw him in the sea.
Takeda.
Who has Matori's one billion?
Who killed his son, Nobuto?
Kyoichi.
Suppose Kyoichi killed Matori too?
The person with that one billion…
would be Kyoichi.
Then hurry up and find him!
Don't just bring me Kyoichi.
If I don't get that one billion…
I'll hold you responsible, Takeda.
[Takeda] Mr. Shino.
There's one thing that bothers me.
Kyoichi suspected…
that a man called Tetsuo Tosu killed Nobuto.
[phone rings, buzzes]
Tetsuo Tosu…
Minamida, when writing "your company," use the word kisha, not onsha.
[Minamida] I'll redo it!
Sorry.
[indistinct chatter]
[phone buzzing]
It's from Mr. Marsilea.
You have a new message from Mr. Marsilea
I read your new novel. They found the body, didn't they, Mr. Tetsu?
[♪ uneasy music playing]
By the way, 9:51 tonight.
[Tetsuo] "The moon should be beautiful tomorrow."
-[door opens] -[Tetsuo] I'm home.
-[Kasen] Welcome home. -[door closes]
-Why do you have that? -Mm.
Just in case.
[Tetsuo] Are you ready?
Not yet!
[Tetsuo] Are you ready?
[Akira] I'm ready!
Boo!
Akira!
Where are you?
Maybe over here. [chuckles]
[phone buzzing]
Caller withheld
-[water running] -[dishes clattering]
[Shino] Nice to meet you.
I'm Shino, chairman of the Mano Syndicate.
[Tetsuo] The Mano Syndicate…
[Shino] I have a question for you.
Akira, let's take a little break.
Hello.
[Shino chuckles] You've finally spoken.
You heard about Yoshitatsu Matori's body being found on Ongo Mountain, didn't you?
You're the one who killed both Nobuto and his father,
aren't you?
[Tetsuo] How much does he know?
What are you talking about?
[Shino] Both Nobuto and Matori
were in your daughter's room just before they vanished.
Afterward, someone canceled the lease on Matori's room and cleared it out.
And then…
the one billion yen Matori had disappeared.
Please wait.
Why are you telling me this? You should talk to the police.
[Shino] The person who has that one billion
is you, isn't it?
I have no idea what you're talking about. No idea.
I know what you did!
[♪ tense music playing]
I don't know what I don't know.
You've made a mistake.
Show me a liar, and I'll show you a thief.
Should I let Akira know?
[call end tone]
[Kasen screams]
Tetsuo, the floor!
[both scream]
-[Kasen breathing heavily] -[Tetsuo] The extinguisher!
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
[Kasen gasps]
Kasen, take Akira and run!
[Kasen] Akira! Akira!
-Akira! -[fire extinguisher hissing]
Akira! [coughs]
Akira's not here!
Akira!
-[both cough] -[glass shatters]
He might be upstairs.
Akira!
[Tetsuo] Akira!
-Is he up here? -[Tetsuo] No!
[Kasen] Akira!
-Akira! -[Kasen] Akira!
-[Tetsuo] Akira! -[Kasen] Akira!
[Tetsuo panting]
-[Tetsuo] Akira… -[Kasen breathing heavily]
[Akira wailing] Daddy!
[Kasen gasps] Tetsuo!
[Tetsuo] It's okay. Come on.
[Akira wailing]
[♪ tense music playing]
[glass shattering]
[wailing continues]
[Tetsuo] It's all burning.
Our memories…
[♪ somber music playing]
Our family home…
[Tetsuo] Thank you.
[door whirring]
-[Reika] Are you okay? -[Tetsuo] Reika.
-[Akira] Reika! -Akira.
Reika, you came.
-[Reika] Are you all right? -[Tetsuo] Yeah.
[door whirring]
Sorry to hear what happened.
Hello. I'm Toshima, from the First Investigation Division.
[Tetsuo] I'm sorry to bother you.
The fire department said there's a strong likelihood of arson.
[Reika] But why our house?
Let's check the nearby security cameras.
Yes, sir.
Okay, take it easy for today.
[Tetsuo] Thank you.
[Akira] Bye-bye.
[Kasen] Tetsuo,
did you know a fire would break out?
I received a message.
-What? -But…
it was a strange message.
A strange message?
Kasen.
Did you know that Natsume Soseki,
who was an English teacher, translated "I love you" indirectly
by saying, "The moon is beautiful, isn't it"?
Yes, what about it?
Like Soseki, some people on the internet use certain wordplay…
You have a new message from Mr. Marsilea
[Tetsuo] I read this in a mystery novel before…
"The moon should be beautiful tomorrow,"
is a threat that means "I will kill you."
The 9:51 part refers to the number 951,
which is firefighting jargon for arson.
[Tetsuo] I suddenly received a message from Mr. Marsilea,
which was either a threat or a warning, that said, "I will commit arson tonight."
So I prepared a fire extinguisher, just in case.
The Mano Syndicate is targeting our family.
[inhales deeply]
[breathing shakily] Kasen…
it might be starting.
A continuation from seven years ago.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
Tetsuo.
I am…
your accomplice in all of this.
Kasen…
[Reika] Footage from the nearby security cameras.
We checked at the First Division to see if the arsonist was captured,
but can you get your unit to check too?
Are you for real? Did you get permission from above?
[Reika] Just check, please.
Sorry. I'll have to check with my superiors.
[Reika] Mm…
I guess I can show this
to your colleagues?
[Enoki groaning on video]
I'm just kidding! I'll do it. I'll investigate.
Here.
Thank you.
[Yasumoto] You two seem to get on.
Who is she?
[Enoki] Tosu from First Division.
A peer of mine.
Tosu?
Chief! Are you all right?
There was a fire at your house, right?
There's some work I need to do by today.
I'm thinking of taking it home.
[air blowing]
Hello.
I'm from Angel Life Insurance.
The name is Shino.
[Takeda] These are the documents for the insurance
taken out on your family.
Tetsuo Tosu.
You've been living quite happily, haven't you?
[Tetsuo] Please don't hurt my family!
[shouts] How strange!
Normally, somebody would say something like, "I'll tell the police."
[♪ tense music playing]
Why don't you?
[Tetsuo] I'll tell the police.
[Shino laughs]
-[neck cracking] -[Takeda sighs]
-Are you messing with us? -[Shino laughs]
-[Tetsuo groans] -[Shino laughs]
[lackey] All right, get up, old man.
-[Shino laughs] -[Tetsuo grunts]
Killing an annoying person to protect one's daughter.
Is that justice?
I haven't killed anyone.
Matori lost his son…
and we lost our top earner.
Do you understand that pain?
[toy thuds]
You wear the mask of a hero,
but you're an archvillain.
Those eyes are dangerous.
-[Shino] I'll gouge them out! -[Tetsuo breathing shakily]
[Tetsuo breathing heavily] Stop!
Give back Matori's billion.
I really…
don't know anything.
-[Tetsuo grunts] -You don't know, huh?
[Tetsuo panting]
Sorry to scare you like that.
[Tetsuo screams in pain]
[♪ tense music playing]
[Tetsuo groaning]
[gasps, breathes heavily]
If you don't have it by Friday, I'll kill your family.
-[squelches] -[screams, grunts in pain]
-One billion… -[breathing heavily]
-[squelches] -[groans]
…or your family…
This has helped a lot.
Reika preparing this place for us.
[Tetsuo] Mm.
-Look, Tetsuo. -[Tetsuo] Hmm?
[Kasen] Your birthday present from Reika is unharmed.
[Tetsuo] Ah.
Good-luck charm
What happened to your hand?
I just tripped. [chuckles]
Tetsuo.
The Mano Syndicate came to my office.
They suspect me for Matori and his son.
I'm thinking of meeting Mr. Marsilea, who sent me the message.
Let's meet tomorrow at Watatsumi aquarium at 13:00.
[Tetsuo] Mr. Marsilea's reply came fast.
He suggested the aquarium.
[indistinct announcement over PA]
Did you know that 90% of fish do not raise their offspring?
Quite different from plovers, aren't they?
In response to enemies targeting their eggs or chicks,
plover parents attract attention to themselves,
acting as decoys to protect their offspring.
Ah. That must be why plovers appeared in your novel.
You're amazing, Mr. Tetsu.
-Are you Mr. Marsilea? -Yes.
Nice to meet you. I'm Osawa.
I'm a fan of yours, Mr. Tetsu.
Seven years ago, I saw.
[quietly] I saw you carrying out Matori's body.
[door lock clicks]
I was monitoring the Mano Syndicate,
then I bumped right into you.
[Osawa] To think you're still alive after killing their people…
You really are amazing, Mr. Tetsu.
Let's crush the Mano Syndicate.
You're being threatened to hand back one billion yen, aren't you?
How do you know so much?
Do you really have Matori's money?
Of course not.
Well, even if you did hand back that billion,
the Mano Syndicate would still never forgive you.
If you want to protect your family,
you have to crush the Mano Syndicate.
Otherwise, you'll never be able to relax.
[Tetsuo] Crush?
What is he talking about?
Won't you…
work with me?
As for weapons to crush the Mano Syndicate with,
I have…
lots and lots of them.
[♪ uneasy music playing]
Please excuse me.
[Toshima] Tosu.
[Reika] What is it, Toshima?
Chief Yasumoto from the Organized Crime Unit
wants to talk to you.
[Yasumoto] Miss Tosu.
[Reika] Are you Chief Yasumoto?
Nice to meet you. I'm Reika Tosu from the--
Well,
never mind all that. Sit.
Yes, sir.
-Excuse me. -[server] Coming!
Do you want a beer?
-I'll have oolong tea. -[server] Okay.
I'm still on duty.
[chuckles]
So, what is it you wanted to ask me?
Kyoichi Majima.
Do you know him?
Yes.
My dad knows him from his work. He came to our house once too.
Knows from his work?
He's a criminal from the Mano Syndicate.
[soft gasp]
It's thought that seven years ago,
Kyoichi killed your boyfriend at the time, Nobuto Matori.
Nobuto was killed?
[♪ uneasy music playing]
Kyoichi is still on the run.
Still though,
I have a pretty good idea where he is.
[server] Sorry for the wait.
-Oolong tea. -[glass thuds]
I've got information that Kyoichi was taking your dad around
at that time.
As his daughter,
did you notice anything strange about your dad's behavior?
Surely, you can't be saying that you suspect my dad.
No.
Just a formal question from a detective.
There was nothing out of the ordinary.
[Yasumoto] I see.
-Over here! -[server] Okay.
Enoki, did you check the security camera footage?
I was just about to contact you.
I think this guy might be the arsonist.
[keyboard keys clicking]
Who is that?
He's a hitman.
[Enoki] Kubo, from the Mano Syndicate.
The Mano Syndicate…

[Minamida] Are you off today?
Yes, I'm taking the day off today.
[Minamida] You'll be in tomorrow though, won't you?
Tomorrow?
[Tetsuo] In order to… safely reach tomorrow with my family…
[Minamida] Chief?
I might have to take tomorrow off as well.
[Minamida] Tomorrow as well?
There are so many things I want to check with you, Chief Tosu.
I suppose it can't be helped.
[Tetsuo] What if we…
[Minamida] Okay then. Thank you.
…ran away to a foreign country?
[♪ tense music playing]
Planning to run away?
You have two days left.

Reika, Kasen, then you.
That's the order I'll kill you all in.

Yasumoto
[Yasumoto] Plovers.
Turns out they were here.
But apparently, they're not found on that mountain recently.
Tetsuo,
you were lying about bird-watching, weren't you?
Tell me.
Why did you come see that mountain where the skeletal remains were found?
I drank with your daughter yesterday.
I wanted to ask her about how you were acting seven years ago.
I never…
forgive those who commit sins.
That's the one thing that guides me in this job.
Give it up already.
I know everything.
Even if you don't talk here,
I'm sure Kyoichi Majima will.
Is he alive?
[Yasumoto] But as for me,
I want to hear the truth from you.
You killed them.
You did it all…
for your daughter, didn't you?
You're really something.
What?
But now it's time for me to do my job.
I'm sorry.
The reason you got mixed up in this…
is because we took too long in crushing the Mano Syndicate.
Leave the rest to us.
For now,
let us lock you up.
[♪ somber music playing]
My family…
[Yasumoto sighs]
The police will crush the Mano Syndicate…
and will definitely protect your family.
Can I believe you?
I promise you.
All right then.
I'll tell you everything.
But…
I have one request.
Please wait until tomorrow.
I'm meeting my daughter tonight.
I want to tell her myself.
[breathes deeply]
Okay.
[Tetsuo] I will entrust this man…
with my precious family.
[Yasumoto] It's me.
Tetsuo Tosu admitted to murdering Nobuto Matori.
What? Hang on…
Are you with him now?
[Yasumoto] He's coming in tomorrow.
Prepare the request for an arrest warrant.
We'll use this to crush the Mano Syndicate!
Dad is late!
Akira, wait a little longer, okay?
Good-luck charm
-[door opens] -[Tetsuo] I'm home!
-[Kasen] Akira, Dad's home! -[door closes]
[Akira] Dad!
-Welcome home! -[chuckles]
All right.
[Akira] Come quickly!
Reika.
-[Reika] Welcome home. -Thank you.
[Akira] Come on already!
[Kasen] The family trip is decided then. Let's go to the ocean, as usual.
[Akira] Yeah!
Fireworks!
[Kasen] Wow! How nostalgic.
Reika, do you remember this?
Of course I do.
That's not a firework.
[Akira] It's not a firework?
We did plan on doing fireworks though.
-[young Reika] Oh, no, the fireworks. -[Kasen gasps]
[young Reika crying]
Honey,
I'll go get something from the car.
-[crying continues] -Huh?
-Wow! -[Tetsuo laughs]
Dad, what's that?
This? Something that can save your life in an emergency.
[Kasen] You used a flare as a firework,
didn't you? [soft chuckle]
[♪ soft music playing]
That was a really unlucky day.
I nearly drowned in the sea during the day.
What? You nearly drowned?
That's right.
But you know,
Dad saved me
that time too.
-Hero! -[chuckles]
[Reika] But in the end, Dad pulled a leg muscle
and nearly drowned himself.
-[laughter] -So uncool!
[Reika] I should be heading home soon.
I'll take you, Reika.
[Reika] O-Okay. Thank you.
Oh, yeah!
This here! It survived the fire.
-[Tetsuo] Ah. -It must really work.
Put it on your bag.
[Reika] There.
Thank you.
Okay, Mom, Akira. See you.
-[Akira] Bye-bye. -[Kasen] See you.
-Okay, bye. -[Akira] Bye-bye.
[door closes]
Kubo. You've finally shown yourself.
[Yakushiji] C-Chief Yasumoto!
Excuse me.
Someone from the Mano Syndicate
wants to talk about the arson on the Tosu house.
And about Kubo.
[thunder rumbles]
[rain pattering]
-[Reika] Thank you. -[seat belt clicks]
Reika.
There's something I want to tell you.
But it's nothing that involves you.
Nothing…
What do you mean?
[windshield wipers clacking]
Dad?
[windshield wipers clacking]
What is it?
Talk already.
[Yakushiji] Huh? Look…
Yakushiji!
[Yakushiji] I'm sorry, but…
[Yasumoto grunts]
[♪ tense music playing]
[Yasumoto chokes]
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[squelches]
[Yasumoto chokes]
[panting]
I'm sorry, sir.
Sorry. [chuckles]
[screams] Somebody!
Seven years ago…
[phone buzzing]
Excuse me.
Yes?
[gasps]
Chief Yasumoto?
Understood.
I'm sorry, Dad. I have to go back to headquarters.
Has something happened?
A superior was killed.
What?
Dad?
You should get going.
[Reika] All right.
[breathes nervously]
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Tosu.
You can't be involved with this investigation.
What do you mean?
The person who murdered Chief Yasumoto is from the Mano Syndicate.
It might be related to the arson on your home.
How can you remove me from the investigation just for that?
I can't accept it.
Those are the rules.
Please leave.
[officer] On your feet!
[door closes]
[breathing heavily] He was killed.
If I confessed to him,
they'd never get that billion.
That's why they killed Yasumoto.
-Tetsuo. -Two more days.
I'll be sure to be back by Friday.
Wait!
Do you plan to do all this alone?
I will crush the Mano Syndicate and protect my family. Don't worry!
Wait!
Tetsuo.
Do you remember what you told me
when Akira was born?
You promised that no matter what happens, we'd protect our family.
Tetsuo,
you're a precious member of this family too.
You can't do this
on your own.
Just tell me.
What should I do?
You protect Akira.
As for me,
I'm going to take a chance on something.
When all this is over,
we'll take that family trip.
[♪ bright music playing]
[Toshima] Upon checking Chief Yasumoto's call history,
we found that the last person he contacted besides police personnel
was Tetsuo Tosu.
The two were then captured on security camera,
meeting at Tama Lake.
-[all murmuring] -[officer 1] Is that Reika's father?
It seems this person in question has disappeared.
[officer 2] Does this mean he was involved with Yasumoto's murder?
That, we don't know.
Finally, the Mano Syndicate has slipped up.
We can't deny the possibility
that Tetsuo Tosu is connected to the syndicate.
He's a person of interest. Find Tetsuo Tosu!
[all] Yes, sir!
I knew you'd be in touch,
Mr. Tetsu.
[Tetsuo] What is all this?
[Osawa] I thought I told you.
I've got weapons to destroy the Mano Syndicate.
I always have them prepared over here.
[Osawa] Stop!
That's a failed project.
Be careful!
Please put it down slowly.
[Osawa] There.
Why do you know so much about the Mano Syndicate?
Well…
I'm quite good at hacking.
Here it comes…
-Pow! -[chimes]
This society has no need for the Mano Syndicate.
Together, let's…
[shouts] Boom!
…crush them.
Majima
[doorbell ringing]
[Reika] Sorry for the sudden intrusion.
I'm Tosu, from the First Investigation Division.
I have some questions regarding your son.
I was wondering if you knew where Kyoichi is, or a way to contact him.
I really don't know.
I haven't heard from him for seven years.
I see.
A detective came once before too,
wanting to ask questions.
He said he'd tell me once he found out where Kyoichi was.
Koji Yasumoto
But he never contacted me.
Still though,
I have a pretty good idea where he is.
Kyoichi Majima East Fishing Harbor?
I will search for Kyoichi too.
He really is a kind boy who cares about his mother.
I just hope he comes home safe and sound.
Please do everything you can.
[Tetsuo] This information is crazy.
Shino made himself a success at a young age.
[Osawa] He became an executive in the shortest time possible.
[Tetsuo] Kubo's history…
This even shows his criminal record.
[mouse scrolling]
Kubo has been using a fake name
and going to various battlefields overseas.
Kubo was a mercenary for a long time.
Shino scouted him for the Mano Syndicate after hearing the rumors about him.
[Osawa] Shino gained great power by having Kubo
kill enemy bosses one after another
and taking all the credit.
Then…
he had Kubo gather delinquents to create a criminal organization.
[♪ ominous music playing]
[inaudible chatter, laughter]
[Tetsuo] Shino gives the commands,
and Kubo executes them.
Kubo is a pro. He never leaves a trace.
This is important material that shows Shino had Kubo carry all this out.
[Tetsuo] It serves as evidence of the Mano Syndicate's crimes.
Why didn't you hand this data to the police?
Someone tried that once before, but…
they were killed.
Still though…
this is a weapon that could possibly destroy the Mano Syndicate.
[Reika] Have you seen this man?
No idea. I'm busy now.
Sorry to bother you.
-Excuse me. -[worker] Yes?
Do you know this man?
I feel like I've seen him before.
Was he in the shipyard?
That might be right.
The shipyard? Where is that?
[clanking]
Kyoichi Majima.
[Reika] Do you remember me?
What does Tetsuo Tosu's daughter want with me?
I want to talk with you.
[Reika] You were a member of the Mano Syndicate, weren't you?
[Kyoichi] That was a long time ago.
I'm a detective now.
As a detective, I can bring you in.
Seven years ago,
did you kill Nobuto Matori?
No.
It wasn't me who killed him.
Then why are you still on the run?
Before I came here,
I met with your mother.
She's looking for you, all on her own.
[clanks]
Even if you run,
nothing will change.
The truth won't do you any good.
Even so,
I feel like I have to know.
Tell me.
The reason Nobuto dated you…
was because the organization told him to.
Nobuto had beaten two other girls to death.
Tetsuo Tosu found that out,
and went to your room.
But ever since that day,
nobody has seen Nobuto.
What happened to your face?
Someone's done that to you.
I ran into him here. Can't you tell?
[Reika] Did he hit you?
He was going crazy in here.
[♪ pensive music playing]
The person who killed Nobuto was…
The answer…
is the person you thought of just now.
But there's no evidence.
It's over once you forget about it.
[line ringing]
[Kasen] Reika?
Mom.
I need to talk to you.
Is now okay?
[Kasen] What is it, Reika?
Seven years ago…
What about seven years ago?
Why was Kyoichi Majima…
together with Dad?
[Kasen] That person…
is someone your dad knew from work. He had to spend time with him.
Why?
It seems Kyoichi really took a liking to him.
Why are you asking?
Mom.
You remember well, despite me asking so suddenly.
About Kyoichi Majima.
Even though it was seven years ago.
[Kasen] Well, he left quite the impression.
Reika,
I'm sorry.
I think Akira has woken up for the toilet.
[inhales shakily]
Okay.
[call end tone]
[sniffles]
She knew.
[sniffles]
For my sake…
[sobs]
This whole time, both of them… [sobs]
[sobbing]
[♪ somber music playing]
-[sobbing continues] -[thumping]
[sobbing]
[sniffles]
Restaurant Majima
[Kyoichi's mom] Kyoichi.
I'll work hard to get the money,
so let's run your dad's restaurant once more.
[Kyoichi] I was trying to get our store back.
In place of my dead dad.
Why don't we work together?
[Kyoichi] What?
You mentioned it before, didn't you?
How you wanted to take your father's place and run a restaurant with your mother.
Did you plant it?
[shouts] Tetsuo Tosu!
[line ringing]
[♪ tense music playing]
It's Tosu.
[Shino] Where are you?
The police were following me.
[Shino chuckles]
[Shino] Tomorrow is the deadline.
I've prepared… the one billion.
This will save my family, won't it?
If you play nicely, that is.
Tomorrow, 12 o'clock.
I'll be waiting
in the lobby of the unused Hotel Ichiboshi on Ongo Mountain.
I got it.
[phone thuds]
[Tetsuo] Tomorrow,
I will put an end to all of this.
[♪ soft pensive music playing]
-[keyboard keys clacking] -[Tetsuo] Since that time seven years ago,
I've believed that continuing a normal daily life
was the best thing for my family.
But…
it's time to make a decision.
[car door closes]
What do you want?
What are you going to do?
Are you going to arrest your dad?
Leave me alone.
Are you going to run away?
I won't run!
I know a lot about the Mano Syndicate, and about Tetsuo Tosu.
Bring me with you.
[Kyoichi] Hey.
GPS?
[Reika] We're being targeted by the Mano Syndicate.
To protect our family, I planted it on my dad, just in case.
It must really work.
[Reika] Put it on your bag.
[scoffs]
You're well prepared, just like your dad.
If you're coming, then get in already.
-[sighs] -[car door closes]
[phone ringing]
[Enoki] Hello.
[Osawa] The Mano Syndicate kidnapped someone.
What? Kidnapped?
[Osawa] In Hotel Ichiboshi on Ongo Mountain.
Please come quickly.
Please calm down.
Is it you who has been kidnapped by the Mano Syndicate?
Not me.
It's Tetsuo Tosu.
[Tetsuo] The plan is to create a clash between the syndicate and the police,
to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Come quickly!
Tetsuo Tosu!
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
May I ask your name?
[indistinct chatter]
[phone rings, buzzes]
[scoffs]
Tipping off the cops? Don't make me laugh, Tetsuo.
From the informant?
A money-loving lackey. [inhales sharply]
Right then, what do we do? [clears throat]
Shino, you head back.
He wants you to stand off with the cops.
Plus, I'd be in trouble if I had nobody to make use of my skills as a killer.
You can kill Tetsuo Tosu, but don't forget about the money.
Of course.
I'll finish it before the cops arrive.
I can always count on my best friend.
[scoffs]
[♪ upbeat action music playing]
[lackey] Here we go.
[Osawa] Kubo is here.
But…
Shino isn't here.
I knew it.
Osawa, they know about our plan. There's nothing else we can do here.
The Mano Syndicate has a spy in the police.
[Tetsuo] We can't destroy the Mano Syndicate
if we don't catch Shino too.
We're moving on to plan B.
[Tetsuo] Let's leave Kubo to the police and find out where Shino is.
[Osawa] Mr. Tetsu.
I'm staying here.
What?
Why? What are you going to do?
I'm going to…
kill Kubo.
Hang on a second, Osawa.
What are you saying?
[signal crackling, disconnects]
-[seat belt clicks] -Osawa!
[shouts] Tetsuo Tosu!
[voice echoing]
Hide-and-seek, huh?
Oy.
Don't kill him even if you find him.
We'll kill him once we get that billion back.
[lackeys] Yes, sir.
-Let's go. -Okay.
[Tetsuo whispers] Osawa…
[clattering]
[Tetsuo breathes shakily]
[♪ tense music playing]
I found you.
[♪ thrilling music playing]
-He's here. -Hey, wait!

I might have used too much.

[Osawa] Mr. Tetsu!
Move out the way!

Move in!

Osawa…
Let's get out of here.

-[quiet gunshots] -[both groan]
[bullets clinking]

[soft groan]
[Osawa grunting]
[Tetsuo] Hide here until the police arrive.
[Osawa groans, pants]
My dad…
[breathing heavily]
…was killed by Kubo.
Because he obtained documents that could take Kubo down.
[Osawa's dad grunts]
[Osawa] My dad, who was a freelance journalist,
had data that could destroy the Mano Syndicate.
That's why… Kubo…
[body thuds]
I was so scared at the time.
I couldn't save my dad.
[Osawa] Dad…
[♪ somber music playing]
[breathing shakily]
You don't need to talk anymore.
-[gunshot in distance] -[Osawa breathing heavily]
[door slams open]
Tetsuo Tosu! I know you're here!
No!
You get out of here.
You really love hide-and-seek, don't you?
[thuds]
[axe scraping]
[thumps on car]
[thumps on car window]

Thank you, Tetsuo Tosu.
What do you mean?
Killing really is fun.
Thanks for setting all this up for me.

Tell me where the money is.

[Tetsuo] Mm.
But maybe I can use this.

-[officer 1] Hey, stop! -[officer 2] Stop!
[panting]
Tetsuo Tosu.
Are you surprised?
Kyoichi.
[Tetsuo] I'm sorry.
What do you mean, "I'm sorry"?
[Tetsuo groans, panting]
I really am sorry.
Tell Shino that you're the one who killed Nobuto!
These past seven years…
do you know how much I've…
-How would you know! -[grunting]
[panting]
[♪ tense music playing]
Where is Kyoichi?
GPS not detected
The GPS has been switched off.
[phone ringing]
[Shino] Kubo, where's the money?
Did you kill Tetsuo Tosu?
[Kyoichi] Is this Mr. Shino?
[Shino] Who is this?
[Kyoichi] It's Kyoichi.
Do you remember me?
[Shino] Why you?
What happened to Kubo?
[Kyoichi] He was killed by Tetsuo Tosu.
Tetsuo Tosu has Matori's money.
I'll deliver him to you,
so can you accept me back into the group?
[♪ somber music playing]
[Shino] Kubo is dead?
[screams]
[Kasen] Stop! Stop!
Your father…
is really awful.
[inhales deeply]
He killed…
my best friend.
There'll be punishment for that.
[♪ tense music playing]
[♪ music fades]
You have Matori's money, don't you?
[Tetsuo] Yes.
Well, I've taken out insurance, just in case.
Insurance?
Okay, start.
[Akira crying on phone]
[Kasen screaming on phone]
[Yakushiji on phone] All righty, time to go. Let's go, shall we?
[Akira crying on phone]
[Kasen whimpering]
-[Yakushiji chuckles] -Stop it. Hey! Stop!
[Yakushiji] Doesn't that feel nice? [chuckles]
-[Tetsuo grunts] -[Shino] That's enough.
[Yakushiji chuckles]
[Kasen panting]
How was that?
Got it? Don't try anything funny.
[breathing heavily]
Takeda, keep watch to make sure nobody comes.
Yes, sir.
All right!
Take me to the money.
[door closes]
[Shino laughs]
Matori's one billion.
You had it after all, didn't you?
I've not touched any of it.
I didn't kill Matori.
He took his own life and tried to frame me as the murderer.
After that,
I disposed of all his belongings in order to fake his disappearance.
That's when…
I found this one billion yen.
I was afraid I'd be traced if I disposed of it carelessly,
so I rented this seaside hut and have been hiding it here ever since.
Liar!
If you were that scared, you could have just burnt it.
So long as we didn't find out,
you were going to use it, weren't you?
No! If you caught me and there was no money,
you'd never forgive me.
So I thought…
as long as I kept this one billion,
I could at least protect my family.
That was a smart decision, Tetsuo Tosu.
Then…
please let my wife and son go.
We need to carry this money.
I'll go get Takeda.
Kyoichi! You've done so well.
Come back to the Mano Syndicate. Here.
[Kyoichi] Thank you, sir.
-Kyoichi! -[door opens]
[door closes]
Let my wife and son go.
I'm afraid I can't do that.
Interest!
You'll have to pay for that too.
Consider that I lent you one billion for seven years,
that's 100 million per year!
Which means 700 million.
Hmm. Shall I kill your wife and son then?
I'll never forgive you.
[shouts] My family is everything to me!
Bravo!
How lovely that sounds.
But is it okay to kill someone else's family to save your own?
Matori.
Kubo.
They were my partners.
You could say they were family.
Are you good while I'm evil?
Well, for me, you're evil!
I'll give you a taste of my pain.
[line beeping]
This hut is designed to not receive any signal.
[♪ uneasy music playing]

[Shino] Gasoline?
It's time to end this already.
For both of us.
[Shino grunts]
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
[Shino] Hey! Kyoichi! Open the door!
[banging on door]
Damn you. You set me up!
I really am sorry.
Tell Shino that you're the one who killed Nobuto!
These past seven years…
do you know how much I've…
-How would you know! -[grunting]
[panting]
I thought about throwing it all away and starting over again.
I wanted nothing to do with your family or the Mano Syndicate.
If I just hadn't met you…
I really do feel sorry.
You couldn't fulfill…
the promise you made with your mother to run a restaurant together, could you?
[♪ emotional music playing]
I too…
was desperate to protect my family.
I still am!
Do you…
really think you can get away from the Mano Syndicate?
Kyoichi.
I have just one idea!
One idea that can crush the Mano Syndicate!
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[Kyoichi] Tetsuo Tosu has Matori's money.
I'll deliver him to you,
so can you accept me back into the group?
Make no mistake,
I'm not working with you.
This is to crush the syndicate.
[Tetsuo] Thank you.
Let's crush the Mano Syndicate.
To protect my family…
I'll deal with Shino.
[banging on door]
[Shino] You set me up! Kyoichi!
[shouts angrily] Kyoichi!
I gave Kyoichi the data
that the freelance journalist Osawa had, which you thought you had smothered.
The Mano Syndicate is finished.
Get there in time…
Reika Tosu.
Yotsuhama Bathing Beach
Dad.
Surprise.
-[♪ gentle piano music playing] -[Kasen] She practiced so hard for this.
-[Tetsuo] A boyfriend? -Why do you assume that?
-Calm down. -How can I be calm? I'm your father!
What happened to your head?
I had a little fall.
[Reika] Your birthday present.
I know it's a bit late.
Thank you, Reika.
I feel like I can do my best now.
[Reika] When I think back now, I feel like he's always protected me.
So today,
I arrested someone for the first time since becoming a detective.
That's great.
No matter what reasons criminals may have,
I can never forgive them.
[soft chuckle]
How must you have felt?
[Tetsuo] Kasen.
Reika.
Akira.
With this, my family can live in peace.
[Shino] Wait.
You'll die too.
This is my final plan, you see.
-[banging on door] -[Reika] It's the police!
Dad? Dad, are you in there?
-[banging continues] -[Shino] Help!
Tetsuo Tosu is going to kill me!
Why?
[shouts] Reika, stay away!
[Reika] Dad?
Dad! Stop already!
[Reika] Kyoichi told me.
He told me everything!
-Dad, please stop! -[banging on door]
-Dad! -Reika!
Get back.
[shouts] Get back!
[breathing shakily, sobbing]
Dad! Stop already!
[Shino] That's right. This guy is a killer!
Stop him already!
[banging on door]
[Reika] Dad, please!
Don't make it any worse for yourself!
Dad, stop!
Give it to me. Hand over your gun.
Reika!
Don't you mind me killing your dad right in front of you?
[Shino grunts softly]
Reika!
[Shino] Chuck it over here.
[gun rattling]
[Tetsuo grunting]
-[Shino laughs] -[Reika] Dad!
What a stupid family. Die.
[gun cocks]
You decide, Tetsuo Tosu.
Should I kill your daughter first, or you?
It must be awful to watch your daughter get killed. Want to die first?
[Shino chuckles]
Do you still think you can protect your family?
[Tetsuo] Shino.
Long ago,
I came to this ocean
on a family trip.
What's this, all of a sudden?
[Tetsuo] While preparing things,
my daughter knocked over a bucket filled with water,
ruining the fireworks.
Seeing my daughter look so sad,
I wanted to teach her
that even in such situations, there's always a solution.
[sizzling]
[Tetsuo] Something that can save your life in an emergency.
[♪ suspenseful music playing]
[Shino] Have you gone crazy or something? Hurry up and choose.
My daughter reminded me
of what I had taught her.
That even if you make a mistake, there's always a way through…
so long as you don't give up.
Stop spouting nonsense. Die.
[flare strikes]
[Shino] Damn you both!

[Tetsuo] Thank goodness.
Mm.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Until now…
I never noticed anything.
It's my fault--
No!
It's not your fault.
I was scared…
to lose my family…

[Reika] I'll protect us.
This time…
I'll protect our family.

toward the heavens
as if cursing, as if praying.
Had the man really protected his family?
[keyboard keys clacking]
For seven years,
they had to lie to their child.
It was he who brought that upon his wife.
The family life he and his wife had vowed to
was never meant to be.
The man…
had changed that life.
Those seven years of their child's life can never be returned.
[soft chuckle] Kyoichi?
I'm home.
[♪ soft somber music playing]
[Tetsuo] To protect
one's beloved family…
might not be about always being with them.
Letting go of your family
is another way to protect them.
So with this,
I am no longer
a husband…
or a father.
[sobs]
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
[soft chuckle]
[sniffles]
I'm the Queen of Nagging!
-Nag, nag! Nag, nag! -[both laugh]
[Tetsuo] The man…
shouted toward the heavens.
Perhaps…
the day will come…
when all of this will be forgiven.
Dear Tetsuo Tosu
Kasen Tosu
The best dad in the world
